Diabetes is a condition that causes a person's blood sugar to become too high.

Type 1 Diabetes can develop at any age, but often begins in childhood. It is not related to diet or lifestyle.

Type 2 is far more common than type 1, but is still rare in childhood. It is usually seen in adults and is often associated with obesity.

Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious complications, including kidney failure, blindness and heart disease.

It's the most common cause of vision loss and blindness in people of working age.
